"THE INVISIBLE LANDSCAPE: Mind, Hallucinogens, and the I Ching"
by Terence & Dennis McKenna (1973)

"We could feel the presence of some invisible hyperspatial entity, an ally, which seemed to be observing and sometimes exerting influence on the situation to keep us moving gently toward an experimental resolution of the ideas we were generating. Because of the alien nature of the tryptamine trance, its seeming accentuation of themes alien, insectile, and futuristic, and because of previous experiences with tryptamine in which insectile hallucinatory transformations of human beings were observed, we were led to speculate that the role of the presence was somehow like that of an anthropologist, come to give humanity the keys to galactarian citizenship." Terence McKenna from The Invisible Landscape co-authored by Dennis McKenna

"For those who lived through what is sometimes called the Psychedelic Revolution, Terrence McKenna is a legend. Once referred to as "the intellectual's Timothy Leary." Terence attained iconic status as a radical philosopher, futurist, cultural critic, and raconteur. His unorthodox ideas about the evolutionary and cultural impact of psychedelic drugs shocked many and resonated with many others. In 1971, we embarked on an expedition to the Amazon, bent on uncovering the real mystery behind psychedelic experience. Terrence died in 2000, never to learn if his predictions about the end of the world, in his particular sense, were true. As Terence's younger brother and only sibling, I grew up with him in a small town in western Colorado during the fifties and sixties. Traveling together in the Colombian Amazon in 1971 with a few other kindred spirits we called our band "the Brotherhood of the Screaming Abyss." As Terence's brother, I helped him create and develop many of "his" ideas. Terence became the spokesman for the alien dimensions accessed through psychedelics, a philosopher of the unspeakable, a beloved and sometimes reviled bard of the marvels and occasional terrors waiting in the recesses of human consciousness. By choice and inclination, I stayed in the background, pursuing a scientific career in disciplines that ranges from ethnopharmachology and ethnobotany to neuroscience. Since Terence's death, we've witnessed the first decade of a new era that by all early indications will be as strange and disturbing, as full of hope and despair, as any period that humanity has yet endured. I've been drawn to look back at how our personal world began. I wanted to retrace the journey that took us from our childhood to our separate destinies, stopping to revisit the people and ideas that shaped us"

LOS 🍄 SON ÁNGELES 😇
“Los hongos son los ángeles originales. Ángel en su raíz más antigua de la palabra: mensajero del hebreo mal'akh y del inglés antiguo aerendgast. Mensajeros raíz. Tejedores. Comunicadores. Cosen tierra a las plantas, árboles a los árboles. Mantienen los ecosistemas juntos como conversaciones, asegurándose de que cada hilo químico cuestionado llegue a su receptor vegetal. Al igual que se dice que los ángeles envían mensajes desde un reino superior, los hongos nos conectan con mensajes de un paraíso prehumano aún más antiguo: el inframundo mítico". - Sophie Strand

How do mushrooms and trees communicate?

Through the wood-wide web of Mycorrhiza!

“A mycorrhiza (from Greek μύκης mýkēs, "fungus", and ῥίζα rhiza, "root") is a symbiotic association between a green plant and a fungus. The plant makes organic molecules such as sugars by photosynthesis and supplies them to the fungus, and the fungus supplies to the plant water and mineral nutrients, such as phosphorus, taken from the soil. Plants and fungi communicate via mycorrhizal networks with other plants or fungi of the same or different species. Mycorrhizal networks allow for the transfers of signals and cues between plants which influence the behavior of the connected plants by inducing morphological or physiological changes. The chemical substances which act as these signals and cues are referred to as infochemicals. These can be allelochemicals, defensive chemicals or nutrients. Allelochemicals are used by plants to interfere with the growth or development of other plants or organisms, defensive chemicals can help plants in mycorrhizal networks defend themselves against attack by pathogens or herbivores, and transferred nutrients can affect growth and nutrition.”

"Myco-diversity is biosecurity"
We love Paul Stamets' philosophy!

He sees ancient Old Growth forests of the Pacific Northwest as a resource of incalculable value, especially in terms of its fungal genome.
